CROSSING TRACKS


  • Resource for London 356 Holloway Road London, England, N7 6PA United Kingdom (map)

Three women, from Taiwan, Vietnam and St Vincent in the Caribbean all of whom have fled from modern day slavery and exploitation came together to take photographs of the city where their paths have crossed.

The three woman have been forced to leave family and home far away on other continents. They are learning to call London home, finding a way, at least for now, to live in this tumultuous, fast paced, at times unforgiving city.

 

Working with Charlotte Hockton, a community artist from Street Talk they explored the city together, walking the streets of different neighbourhoods just looking, seeing beauty in unexpected places.

 

The women were flung together by displacement and each is on a personal journey to overcome their individual loss and suffering, Their photographs are a testimony to the infinite beauty of the human spirit, its capacity to find friendship and beauty in the worst of times, to create something beautiful in spite of all that has been lost forever.

 

The title brings together the journeys the women have made which have brought them to London, the hopping on and off trains all over London to take the photographs and the tracks each will choose to make in the future, perhaps away from London perhaps not.

 

The exhibition is a partnership between Street Talk and Medaille Trust.
